Noram Receives Results for CVZ-70: High of 1930 PPM Intersection of 443ft (135.0 M) Averaging 968 PPM Lithium

April 14, 2022

Vancouver, British Columbia – April 14, 2022 – Sandy MacDougall, CEO of Noram Lithium Corp. (“Noram” or the “Company”) (TSXV: NRM | OTCQB: NRVTF | Frankfurt: N7R) is pleased to announce the successful completion of CVZ-70 and release of the final assay results. The Company completed core hole CVZ-70 at a depth of 463 feet (141.1 m). An interval thickness of 443 ft (135.0 m) was intersected from 20 ft (6.1 m) to 463 ft (141.1 m) which encompasses the entire core hole. The weighted average lithium values present were as follows:

Depth of Interval Intersection Total thickness Weighted Average Lithium
(ppm)
20 ft to 462 ft (6.1 m to 141.1 m) 443.0 ft (135.0 m) 968.0 ppm
110 ft to 330 ft (33.5 m to 100.6 m) 220.0 ft (67.1 m) 1267.3 ppm
110 ft to 463 ft (33.5 m to 141.1 m) 363.0 ft (110.6 m) 1067.9 ppm


Figure 1. Comparative stratigraphy and assay results for drill holes CVZ-70 as compared to CVZ-61 and CVZ-62, which were drilled as part of the Phase V program.  CVZ-61 and CVZ-62 were two of the longest intercepts drilled on the property to date.  The histogram on the sides of the holes are the composited lithium grades in ppm Li.  The cross section has a 4X vertical exaggeration.

“CVZ-70 is the first hole in Noram’s 12-hole Phase VI drilling program.  The hole clearly shows the consistently high lithium grades across this blanket-like mineral deposit.”  comments Brad Peek, VP of Exploration and geologist on all six phases of Noram’s Clayton Valley exploration drilling.
